I would agree with this notion.


JM was bigger for the program than Kidd Brewer.

Kidd Brewer was also a felon.....

... Which is how it should work for just about every politician. ;-)

Equating a mass murderer including women and children to a 2 bit swindler?

[walliver]

Is ASU going to change their stadium sign to "Kidd Brewer Stadium - he didn't kill no women or children" ?

[AppChicago]

Jerry Moore Field at Kidd Brewer Stadium

Yep. That seems like the best course of action.

[Gringer1]

Equating a mass murderer including women and children to a 2 bit swindler?

Merely commenting on how silly it is to imply that serving in the military absolves someone of criminal behavior. Brewer was a felon and his Navy years have no bearing on that.

[Side Judge]

Back on point - is it case closed that Jerry Moore is done coaching? If not then isn't it a bit premature to name the field after him?

He's getting up there in years. I don't see him picking up another job. Or do you mean coaching at App? Because that's done.

But either way, witness "Coach K Court" at Duke. They named that in 2000, so retirement isn't necessarily a prerequisite.

Does anyone pay attention to the names of fields? It's still the stadium name that matters.

[Go Apps]

I would agree with this notion.

Was all about Money - used to Conrad - so I agree let's rename it - Jerry put ASU on the map

He didn't exactly "step down."

[SoCon48]

Yep. That seems like the best course of action.

It's already been named for a donor.

Age 73 is not an ideal time to be starting over.

Political It would be a no-brainer in today's world of politics. He was also a governor's candidate.

[Apphole]

Keep doubting Jerry Moore Stadium

The petition is gaining a little traction. It got featured on the official school newspaper's website:
http://www.theappalachianonline.com/mountaineers/10002-petition-created-to-rename-kidd-brewer-and-honor-moore

400 signatures so far, goal is 500.

[WataugaDave]

I totally agree with this and have signed the petition.

Other fitting tributes may be:
Jerry Moore Field at Kidd Brewer Stadium (especially since Dell Murphy is a donor)
Renaming Stadium Drive to Jerry Moore Drive or something similar (see "Woody Hayes Drive" on Ohio State's campus)
Jerry Moore Athletics Center (the new building adjacent to the stadium, currently unnamed)
And of course, there has to be a statue somewhere.

As for the field already being named - Jerry Moore is responsible for at least tripling App's athletic revenue. That almost certainly equates to more money than whatever Murphy gave.

[walliver]

If the field is already named, maybe you could name the anti-Furman voodoo spot on the field to Jerry Moore's anti-Furman Zone at ... ;)

[asumike83]

Renaming Stadium Drive to Jerry Moore Drive
Jerry Moore Athletics Center

Those are both excellent ideas if the stadium name is not feasible. Brewer-Moore Stadium has a decent ring to it as well.

[appstate38]

I am thinking if the renaming the stadium doesn't go through then there had better be a big A$$ statue of him at the entrance of the stadium complex. Not gonna rename the field cause the family that spent that cash to get their name on it aint gonna like that too much.

[Skjellyfetti]

I like "Jerry Moore Way" for the Stadium Drive.

Bottom line is, we need to name something for him and get him a statue asap.


Edit: Also, if we can get the stadium or athletics center named for jerry, we could always still rename stadium drive "Armanti Edwards Pass"

[WataugaDave]

I think the Athletics Center may be the most viable proposal. And they should do it before Irwin Belk decides to slap his name on that too.

Keep in mind, Kidd Brewer was already re-named once from Conrad Stadium.

I like that.


Too bad you can't name one of those mountains up there for Moore.
Mount Moore.

Ok, so maybe that's a little much. But the guy definitely deseres to have his name on something big.

Can we retire #14 before we go naming roads after him?

But yes, Stadium Drive sounds so stupid. It needs to be something--anything--else.

I'd rather use 14 and give it to a special player as an honore. Kinda like what Montana does with #37.

[Apphole]

This is tricky. We should have retired the number after he graduated.

Now we have another superstar #14. What are we going to do when Price breaks every receiving record possible and gets drafted first round?
